Yes, 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' by Flannery O'Connor is about 3000 words. It follows a family's road trip that goes horribly wrong. The characters are complex, especially the grandmother. There are elements of violence and grace intertwined. The story shows how quickly a normal situation can turn into a nightmare and also delves into themes of redemption and the human condition.

I'd suggest 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It's around 3000 words. It's a story about a woman's descent into madness. She is confined to a room with yellow wallpaper as part of a 'rest cure'. The description of the wallpaper and her growing obsession with it is both eerie and a powerful commentary on the oppression of women in a patriarchal society.

One great 3000 - word short story is 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson. It's a thought - provoking piece set in a small town. The story starts off seemingly normal, with the townspeople gathering for an annual lottery. As the story progresses, it takes a dark and unexpected turn, revealing the true nature of the lottery which is a brutal sacrifice. It makes readers question the power of tradition and the mob mentality.
